"Error Uncovered: Johnny Depp's Career Trial"

Almost four years after the 2020 libel trial, which brought about the end of Johnny Depp’s career, a key party has deemed their involvement a mistake. This surprising update comes as Disney seemingly wrestles with whether to bring Depp back into the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
After Justice Andrew Nicol sided with The Sun and News Group Newspapers LTD against actor Johnny Depp in the 2020 libel trial, Depp’s sparkling Hollywood career was over. Warner Bros. asked the star to resign from his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the Harry Potter spinoff franchise, Fantastic Beasts. His part was eventually recast with Mads Mikkelsen in what became the final chapter of the series Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022).
In a similar fashion, Depp was excised from his beloved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, where he originated his most commercial role to date, Captain Jack Sparrow. After appearing as the beloved character for 14 years, Depp’s last appearance as Captain Jack came in 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
The 2020 libel trial acted as a catalyst for the downfall of Depp’s career and thrust him into another sort of limelight–the one that comes when two high-profile public figures go head-to-head in the courtroom. While Amber Heard, Depp’s former wife, was not the defendant in Depp’s libel case, her testimony was pertinent considering the trial came about following allegations of domestic violence in Depp and Heard’s relationship.
For context, shortly after marrying in 2015, Heard filed for divorce from Depp and cited that he had been physically and verbally violent during their relationship. These allegations sparked Dan Wootton, then executive editor of The Sun newspaper in the United Kingdom, to publish a story titled “GONE POTTY How Can J.K. Rowling be ‘genuinely happy’ casting wife beater Johnny Depp in the new Fantastic Beasts film?” in April 2018.
